(Driving. There was a brief discussion where Rachel explained to Charlie that Mummy needed to listen to her music right now and they'd listen to Charlotte's later. Rachel needed to keep herself amped up to take on the day. Zara's "It ain't my fault." plays.)

Rachel: (sings along) Oh my God, what is this? Want you all in my business. Baby, I insist. Please don't blame me for what ever happens next. (Points to Charlotte in the backseat) No

Charlotte: I-I-I-I

Rachel: -can't be responsible. If-

Charlotte: I-I-I-I

Rachel: -get you in trouble now. See -

Charlotte: you're-'re-'re-'re

Rachel: -too irresistible. Yeah that's for sure. So if I put your hands where my eyes can't see then you're the one who's got a hold on me. No -

Charlotte: I-I-I-I-

Rachel: -can't be responsible. Responsible. It ain't my fault. (Rachel looks into the rearview mirror to see Charlotte dancing in her carseat.) We're pretty good. I reckon we should start a band. What d'you think? (Charlotte puts her hands on her head and laughs at her mother's silliness. Rachel freely joins in the laughter.)

(The loo. Janet checks the stalls making sure they're all empty before locking the main door from the inside. She looks at herself in the mirror and nods. She then presses call on her mobile and lifts the phone to her ear. She keeps eye contact with her reflection, steeling herself.)

Gill: Hello?

Janet: Gill.

Gill: Is everything alright? Is Sammy alright?

Janet: Yes Gill, Sammy's fine.

Gill: I just saw him on the news. He was there when they found the kids.

Janet: Yeah Gill, he did amazingly.

Gill: Why did you let him go?

Janet: I didn't really have too much of a choice. He-

Gill: Aren't you in charge now? With Rachel being out.

Janet: I'm not SIO, I'm just-

Gill: Speak up next time Janet. Don't let Melligan walk all over you, the bloody misogynistic bastard. Don't let him intimidate you.

Janet: Gill, Sammy did great. You should've seen his face when he got back to the office. He had that glow. You know, that high? He helped save three little kiddies and he was... It just reminded all of us lot, who have been here for so long, why we do this job.

Gill: (sighs) Good. (She remembers that feeling well.)

Janet: I called because I wanted to pick your brain.

Gill: I charge now, 4£ a minute.

Janet: (laughs) Not about a case.

Gill: Oh, ok.

Janet: You know when you were going through your divorce.

Gill: What about it?

Janet: You had to stop working for the faculty, to focus on Sammy, to get your life sorted, to reduce the stress level. Didn't you?

Gill: Yes. I loved that job. I was bloody good at it too.

Janet: I was thinking, with…(closes her eyes)...with everything that's going on with Rachel, don't you think maybe it'd be in her best interest to step down, maybe to Sargent? (Janet opens her eyes and waits. There's silence on the phone for some time.) Gill?

Gill: What's brought this on?

Janet: Well, there's a lot of talk around the office.

Gill: Put a stop to it.

Janet: I did! Well, I tried. But, she's got a lot on. With everything that's happened and being a single mum. It can't be easy. As her mate, instead of sitting back and watch her struggle, and put her career and reputation in jeopardy. Wouldn't it be best if she stepped down? She was brilliant as a Sargent. She would thrive in that position.

Gill: She was thriving, wasn't she? Before this Spencer bloke. She's just going through it at the moment. She just needs…(sighs, realizing she probably owns some of the responsibility.) She just needs some support.

Janet: Maybe you could talk to her about it? Just as an option. See what her reaction is. She might be more receptive of the idea coming from you.

Gill: I don't think I understand. Has something happened that I don't know about?

Janet: No, I just think, the team has lost some confidence in her.

Gill: She'll get back on her feet. What is this really about?

Janet: Rachel.

Gill: Is it?

Janet: Yes.

Gill: Who would take her spot if she stepped down? (There's a long pause on Janet's end this time.) You had your chance Janet. I offered you the Sargent's position. After my retirement, while Rachel was away in London, you could have easily stepped up then. But, no. You kept passing it up for one reason or another.

Janet: My family came first. And shouldn't Rachel, make sure hers does too?

Gill: Honestly Janet, I'm a little surprised at you. Have you not thought what that would do to her? Being asked to step down?

Janet: Well, that's why if it's her idea-

Gill: No. Janet, if you are so bothered about being in charge, why not go get your fill of it now and put those rumors to bed. Stop letting the teams spirit be muddied by all the chatter and keep things running, smoothly, for your best mate. For when she finds her feet. For when she does come back. The way Rachel did for me, that day I called in sick. (Now the argument with Rachel was niggling at her. She was going to dismiss it as "Bailey-antics" and assumed it'd blow over but maybe something more is going on?) Maybe you should try focusing on that, being a mate. Take a look at yourself Janet. (Janet does.) Maybe start thinking of retirement if you're bored with your job.

Janet: I was thinking of Rachel.

Gill: You weren't.

Janet: I swear Gill, I was, I am.

Gill: Now I'm going to be a mate to you by pretending this call never happened. Goodbye Janet. (Janet simply sighs) Sort it. (Janet then looks at her mobile to see that Gill has hung up. Janet stares into her ice blue eyes. She wasn't expecting that conversation to go the way it did. She thought Gill would understand, having had to step down from a job she loved. Maybe she just caught her at the wrong time? She would have to try again because she knew only Gill could talk sense into Rachel. The only way Janet could even think of approaching the subject is if there was already a bottle of wine in Rachel. It's the only way she could see the conversation not blowing up in her face and Rachel actually listening to her. Trouble was, Rachel doesn't drink like she used to. She'd be suspicious if Janet tried plying her with booze and actually thinking that that's even an option makes Janet feel questionable. Was that manipulation? No. Rachel just wasn't an easy person to talk to. Janet sighs, there had to be another angle.)
